After serving her sentence, Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich is expected back in court next Spring following a Crown appeal seeking additional jail time.
“My sentence will be served January 21, 2027 and then it’ll be back to court to start this process all over again,” Lich wrote on X Tuesday.
In R. v. Barber and R. v. Lich, the Crown appealed the acquittal and sentences of Chris Barber and Lich Tuesday over their roles in the 2022 Freedom Convoy.
Critics call the Crown’s proposed seven- and eight-year prison terms excessive for mischief convictions.
Lich received an 18-month conditional sentence of house arrest, curfew and community service, reduced to 15.5 months for time served. Both have appealed.
Ontario taxpayers have spent about $15 million prosecuting the case, which the Justice Centre calls “political lawfare.”
